Brasil: Let's Blame It On Rio

What can I say about Rio. It was amazing. My cousins and I had an awesome time. From time that we landed, it was none stop fun. That are so many photo ops in rio; scenery, beaches, women (lol), mountains, and almost everything. And I have about 200+ pictures to prove it. We went to Christ the Redeemer (Mountain with cross on top of it)...that was pretty nice. Took a picture with my arms extended like christ, I thought it was nice. Received some mixed reactions about it. Went hiking through rain forest and one of my cousins went hang gliding....view from top of mountain was awesome.

Food and drink in Brasil was very good. Brazilian resturants like to serve meat on skewers, and they will continue to bring you different types of meats until you say stop. They had this parmessan crusted filet migon that was to die for. We were well fed, I never seen my cousin eat so much meat. Drinks were very good also. They have this drink called Caipirinha and if you dont watch it, you can get messed up easily.
Went to a Brazilian Soccer game, never really cared for soccer but it was a blast. Crowds dancing in the stands, setting off fireworks, and their passions for their team was unbelieveable. Plus you could get a beer for about $1.25 and it was pouring plentiful. No 3rd quarter cut off on the the alcohol there...LOL Everything about Brasil was nice. Prices of food, drink, souvenirs, and etc. was very reasonable and very negiotable. I spent more on souvenirs then anything while there.

I would definitely recommend Rio and someday I would love to go back. Did I say it is very cheap in Brazil?
